Arch install cp to wrong folder in Makefile

[fawqsir]

I am using Garuda Linux (Arch based) on a MSI GL65 9SE I had an error when running make install where it could not find the msi-ec.ko at line 15.

I forgot to copy the error for reporting.

I changed the Makefile line 12 to

cp msi-ec.ko /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/

All is working fantastic! I haven't checked all of the stats but the fans instantaneously changed.

According to the kernel module's guide:

Modules which are included in the kernel are installed in the directory: /lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)/kernel/

And external modules are installed in: /lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)/extra/

Therefore, the true path has to be /lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)/extra. After clarifying that point, the /extra folder seems not to exist sometimes, so I did a new commit 0bb4e1f in order to prepare the folder previously. I know that module_install already does it, but I prefer doing all the steps manually. Thank you for filling a issue.

Also, don't use the same issue for two questions. I have separate the second comment to a new issue #2
